    What is RootPA?

    That's a pretty ignorant blanket statement. Also condescending, rude, and just plain wrong. :eek: Does this site have a "bad user scanner", 100% guaranteed to keep malicious users and their bad links away? (obviously not) Jerks can be anywhere and it's safest to assume they're everywhere...

    Samsung galaxy s4 mini shuts down WiFi

    It took me forever to realize that it was a battery saver app (Avast, in my case) that was always shutting off my WiFi, screen rotation, and more. I fixed it by turning off the app's WiFi Optimization in Profile setting.

    WIFI keeps turning itself on since OTA
